Youth Services of Tulsa

Our offices will be closed tomorrow. Happy Juneteenth from all of us at YST!

Thank you to for hosting the Guide the Giving Nonprofit Expo and for inviting Youth Services of Tulsa to participate. We were grateful for the opportunity to table at the event, sharing information about our programs and services.

Events like these help raise awareness about the work being done across our community, allowing nonprofits to showcase their impact and engage with those who want to make a difference!

Our Drop-In Center is in desperate need of towels!

Clean towels help provide comfort, dignity, and a fresh start to the day for young people experiencing homelessness who visit The Station to take a shower.

New or gently used items may be dropped off at our main reception desk at 311 S. Madison Ave. between 9am-4pm.

We are a proud partner agency of A Way Home for Tulsa! In FY2025 YST housed 123 Tulsa area youth and helped 590 individual youth at The Station, our drop-in center.

In 2022, YST partnered with the Georgetown Center for Juvenile Justice, Tulsa Dream Center, and the Anne and Henry Zarrow Foundation to publish a report examining racial disparities in Tulsa’s juvenile legal system.

Since then, we’ve worked alongside partners, community members, and stakeholders to turn the report’s recommendations into meaningful action.

One key recommendation highlighted the importance of neighborhood-level community engagement and the power of credible messengers in connecting with youth.

SeCURE Tulsa is putting those recommendations into action- reducing violence, building stronger community connections and creating pathways for youth resources, and opportunity.

We have a few Frankoma Pottery Tiki Mugs left over from 2nd Chance Prom available for purchase. These limited-edition collector’s items made a splash at Paradise Soirée, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. Every mug purchased helps support Youth Services of Tulsa and serves as a memorable keepsake from this year’s celebration.

Purchase the mugs here:

They are available for pick up after purchase at our main office at 311 S Madison Ave

Thank you Tulsa for making 2nd Chance Prom: Paradise Soirée an unforgettable night. Your energy, generosity, and willingness to show up in support of Tulsa’s young people turned the evening into something truly special. From the dance floor to the activities and every moment in between, your presence helped create a celebration to remember.

The funds raised through 2nd Chance Prom help provide young people the second chance they deserve to gain the skills and confidence they need to overcome adversity and reach their goals.

We are looking forward to next year’s event and we hope to see you there.
